[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 293492, member: 313"] Thanks for all the input. A little additional info: I tried Benchmark, IMR4198, H4895, H335, Varget & RE7. All loads were shot over an Oehler 35P. Most bullets were set .005" - .015" off the rifling. Some of the 40's I loaded .065" off the rifling so that I would have better bullet grip in the neck. All loads were shot at 200 yds with favorable (am) wind conditions. Average group is about 1.5" with an occasion 1" group but a few that were nearly 2". I also shot several groups with 4 in a cluster and a 5th that may have been 1.5"-2" out?????????????? Funny, but when I had this rifle built I thought that it would be one of the easiest rifles to find accurate loads for. As it turned out, it's proving to be one of the most difficult. This is an intriguing sport. :) [/QUOTE]
